Blackfield - Cloudy Now

Blind_FaithX · « **Reply #4 on:** June 11, 2009, 12:55:05 PM »

A lot of songs. But here's a few that comes to my mind

- Guns N'Roses: Estranged, November Rain (especially with the video; the guitar solo in the desert in front of the church is musically and visually perfect)
- Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here
- Metallica: Fade To Black, To Live Is To Die
- Blackfield: All
- Porcupine Tree: Collapse Light Into Earth
- Heavenly: Dust to Dust
- Iced Earth: Question of Heaven
- Megadeth: A Tout Le Monde
- Pain of Salvation: A lot of their songs, but I'd say Iter Impius
- Dream Theater: Disappear, Another Day
- Radiohead: How To Disappear Completly
- Avenged Sevenfold: Dear God
- Supertramp: Don't Leave Me Now

Yeah, that's not bad. And all of these songs are in my favorites of each band. I totally agree with Steven Wilson: sad music is the most beautiful music. It makes you feels such emotions...

Porcupine Tree- Heartattack in a Lay By - AKA the greatest song ever recorded

Thrice- Daedalus

OH GOOOODD WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?
ALL I WANTED WAS A NEW LIFE
FOR MY SON TO GROW UP FREE
AND NOW YOU TOOK THE ONLY THING
THAT MEANS ANYTHING TO ME
I'LL NEVER FLY AGAIN, I WILL HANG UP MY WINGS
OHHH GOODDDD

Sends chills up my spine every time.

Alice in Chains - "Nutshell" - MTV Unplugged

One of the absolute saddest songs I have ever heard. As I mentioned in another thread, it's absolutely creepy and sad when you realize Layne's singing is a foreshadow of his own situation.

The album version is much better but it's an outstanding song. I think Rotten Apple is slightly more emotional.

I've probably mentioned a million times by now: Evergrey - When The Walls Go Down.

Volk9 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 12, 2009, 10:20:02 AM »

I can probably think of a few, but atm one thats in my mind is Emmure-Rusted Over Wet Dreams, because it's about his pregnant g/f and how she left him and then had an abortion, when he really wanted to be a father.

You mean The Broken Vow, by Converge? That song is amazing, good choice.

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #25 on:** June 15, 2009, 07:13:09 PM »

No i was thinking "LIKE BRINGING A KNIFE TO A GUNFIGHT!!!"

Converge rule.

I think it has something to do with him being a creatively genius wierdo.

Based on your previous post, I would have thought that you disliked metalcore.

I only enjoy a handful. Converge being one of them. Breakdowns get tedious after a while.

Anything by Depswa. Seriously, these guys know raw emotion. The Prom Song is probably the most 'out there' with expressing that emotion.

ThroughHerEyesDude6 · « **Reply #32 on:** September 02, 2010, 12:57:58 AM »

I know these two songs have already been posted, but I have a deep memory with "The Spirit Carries On" and "Wish You Were Here".

His name was Mike.
These songs really helped, and it's thanks to them that i got out what I needed to. So thank you DT and PF.

On Another Note, these four albums take me back to the summer of '04:

Slipknot - Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses
Fear Factory - Archetype
Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache
Velvet Revolver - Contraband

Gadough · « **Reply #33 on:** September 02, 2010, 01:01:58 AM »

Korn - Daddy
